On accents

"Knox, this new position that you've taken on the chair is cracking me up!"

(While he peruses the contents of our fridge) "Honey, how many syllables are in the word 'chair'?"

"Um, one?"

"Well, you just turned it into four. Ch-aa-aa-aair!"

"No, I didn't!"

"Yes you did! You sounded like Melba!"

And my life goal is accomplished.

  1. If your Aunt Melba knew how to use the internet and actually read your blog, she would dispute Jason's claim and insist that she keeps the word "chair" to two syllables, max.

    Love you!

  2. PRICELESS! Speaking of Melba and chairs, I'm so glad we can park our butts in a couple at the lake and catch up in August!
